American Idol - Season 8

[JonathanBelles]

But...where is THE American Idol? Adam has and always will be more in the spotlight than Kris. I still think Adam is an idol for many people. I think he was on the wrong channel and a few years ahead of his time.

Adam was always light years ahead of everyone. He does have a point regarding why it's acceptable for women to perform provocatively and not him (aka Madonna, Britney, etc.). It is a catchy song.

[JonathanBelles]

Yea, one of the shows I was watching in recent days compared him to Madonna.

I guess we just disagree about what is entertainment. lol

Season 9 premiere tomorrow, and it will be Simon's last season

Well it's been fun. Without Simon and Paula, it'll be unwatchable.

[Tireman4]

Oh good Lord. Again? Sigh.

[StormingB81]

Looks like this is American Idol's last season. It CAN survive without paula. it CANNOT survive without simon.

Darn AI...making miss the final minutes of Glee. I haven't been watching AI this year but i can't believe they have gotten the timing down yet after all these years.

Listening to "People Get Ready" preformed by Crystal Bowersox. Downloaded it from ITunes. This woman is incredible!!

[wx247]

She is the only real "Idol" this season. The rest of the talent is pretty boring. I like Casey James, too, but I don't see him making too many more weeks.

[wx247]

Crystal, Lee, Big Mike, and Casey left. Does anyone on here like Lee? The judges rave week after week about him and I find him to be, at best, adequate.

[vbhoutex]

IMO, Crystal should take it all. Big Mike is capable of taking it too. Casey next, then Lee. Lee is better than adequate, but certainly is not an "Idol".

[wx247]

VB... I should clarify... what I meant to say regarding Lee was that he would make, at best, an adequate American Idol. He would drift into the night and never be heard from again like other adequate Idols from the past.

[Pburgh]

I think Big Mike and Lee would drift into the night, never to be heard from again just like Ruben Studdard and remember what a big fan I was of, let's see, what was his name, ahhhhhhh, oh, Taylor Hicks. LOL

Crystal has the talent but I don't think there is anyone in this season that has the whole package and could make it BIG.

Certainly aren't any Kelly's or Carrie's of either gender this season.

[Pburgh]

definitely not

My two favorites are Crystal and Lee. Crystal should win it all, but we've seen what has happened in previous years.

As soon as Crystal has a cd out, I'm buying it.

[vbhoutex]

Big Mike is very good, but he is not an "Idol". In fact the only one that even approaches "Idol" imo is Crystal. Big Mike could have taken it all if he had kept improving/growing as a performer, but I don't think he did. Lee has improved a lot, but he is not as versatile or as good as Crystal. Casey is also very good, but the major reason he is still there is that the girls love him. They should all have good careers in music after their exposure on Idol.

I've watched it on and off, but not faithfully. I think Crystal is great. I like the others who are there as well.

Last night was the best... my baby performed and he was amazing as usual!

Yes, but he isn't in the competition.
